The hype for KPop Demon Hunters<\/a>\u00a0only grows as its summer success blazes a trail into the fall and fans clamor for more.<\/p>\n

The Sony Pictures Animation feature<\/a>, which Netflix<\/a> acquired for the platform, has hit another first, as it has moved into the top spot on Nielsen\u2019s overall top 10 streaming chart, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The numbers don\u2019t lie and if the rush to get out merch and costumes is any indication, the Netflix animated hit is truly this generation\u2019s Frozen. \u201cGolden\u201d and \u201cSoda Pop\u201d are on constant rotation in my and my friends\u2019 social media posts, at least so I can attest to that.<\/p>\n

The Nielsen streaming charts are dominated by Netflix projects\u2014including Wednesday season two, which previously held the overall top spot and had a lot of anticipation built around its return. But it\u2019s truly powerful to note that Mira, Rumi, and Zoey join Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) as the streamer\u2019s most popular heroines. Demon boys and Hydes beware!<\/p>\n

KPop Demon Hunters was released August 23, and it took over the number one spot in the last week of August. Its highest weekly viewing total sits at 1.12 billion minutes in the United States, easily beating out other mainstays such as Bluey and SpongeBob SquarePants. <\/p>\n

This milestone also marks KPop Demon Hunters\u2019 11th week appearing in the Nielsen charts, topping its own record for original streaming film that it set the week prior.<\/p>\n

As the holidays and award season start to kick up, fans really only have the movie to go to until retailers roll out more offerings for the surefire franchise hit in the making. You know there\u2019s already clamoring for Halloween party screenings, New York Comic Con cosplay, and holiday fun that will see more Huntr\/x and Saja Boys love, so these numbers are sure to continue to keep going up, up, up. It\u2019s their moment.<\/p>\n
